I grew up with one thing expected by my Father, that I would chose my own husband and my own religion. This seemed like an open door to a freedom I would enjoy, however it has been a difficult journey and has taken many years of discovery. Because you seemed to question what is true or not, I am interested in your views of your chosen religion. I have tried very hard not to judge a person by a religion, but as you know it is difficult to see some things happen in the world and not to place a fearful blame on someone or something.
Still, even though my fear closes the door, my wish for further understanding keeps opening it back up again.
It is difficult for me to decide what is politics, what is religion, what is a personal belief and what is real and true. I am here to observe. I am not here to judge unless I see people harmed. Then, it is my nature to wonder what reason one person used to make harming others alright.
Well, these thought go deep to my personal values, and I try not to exhaust all my energy on these worries.
This is written in the hope that you realize that there are people working very hard to be inclusive and nonjudgmental. Ni, The Ancient One
